Hire Jim Leavitt NOW! He hired Canales twice, so he knows how to work with him. Get Leavitt on the ground now and he will kick it up a notch and close out the year on the upswing, put some butts in the seats for your last homes games and get started recruiting both Texas and Florida.

Hiring a permanent coach at midseason would make UNT a laughingstock in the sports media. Neither Jim Leavitt nor anyone else with decent job prospects would agree to that.

It's simply unrealistic to think Leach would consider the job. No offense to you guys, but Leach will wait for a bigger and better offer and he will have them. North Texas has a lot of potential to

I knew Leavitt in college at Mizzou where he was a standout defensive back and baseball player for the Tigers. I notice your last home game is with Kansas State. If anyone in the country could coa

Dude...He left the DC job at K-State that paid him $95,000 to accept the USF head coach job which paid $75,000 and no buildings to work from. He worked out of trailers for years before they finally b

Not too sure about that; the search committee consists of him and President Lane Rawlins; he of BYU, Washington State, Memphis, and a Mormon from Idaho, whose only prominent coach hiring decision was bb coach Calipari at Memphis. Leavitt have anything in common with any of that?

My personal opinion...That is the wrong way to hire a coach. The more people you have making a decision, the more indecision you will have, the more time that will be wasted and the more candidates you will lose. Coaches (with current jobs) cannot afford to have their names batted around in the press and that is a bad thing with their current employer. An AD should be free to do his job without a bunch of folks looking over his shoulder, second guessing and micromanaging him. He should quietly talk directly to the candidates and make a swift decision.

      Sonny Dykes?

      I mentioned it in the thread regarding other scores around Texas, but in the end it is SMU/TCU and not NT related. That's your reason we aren't discussing it, and the same reason SMU fans are on our board and we aren't on their's. They have this deep desire for approval from others and we don't care. I did see it as I had switched over from watching Ark/Auburn to check the score. SMU kicked off and TCU returned it for a TD. The refs called TCU for holding and it was a terrible call. This was in the first half when the game was still close. Taking six points off the board was costly at that time and Dykes was pissed. He was warned a couple of times by the refs drawing penalties, but he wouldn't shut up. Maybe he saw the writing on the wall, but he also had every right to be pissed. TCU folded after that.

      ***Official Wyoming vs UNT Game Thread***

      I think with Svoboda they are looking/hoping for the second coming of Josh Allen. He has the size and that's it. I think I would run with their freshman out of Southlake from here on out. The KO return: Tyler King was the return man and is a transfer out of TX Tech. They talked about him on the broadcast. He played HS ball in Houston for Alief Taylor and was a four star recruit listed as the No. 59 WR in the '22 class by ESPN and the No. 61 player in the state of Texas and, as we all saw, a real burner. How did we not get a hold of this kid? He only caught two balls in his career at Tech and was never a factor in the passing game vs. us, so he may be a poor route runner. Just a guess. He runs like he just pissed off his Mama. Shane Whitter #7 delivered that hit and had a very strong game for us.

      I look at national sports websites, watch college football highlights, and I haven't heard a peep about this. I have no idea what you're talking about. Your ponies aren't nearly as nationally relevant as you think they are.
